AbstractAlthough the significance of osteoporosis is well known worldwide, the number of patients undergoing therapy for this disease corresponds to a fraction only of the optimal proportion. In many countries, patients at a high risk of fracture — including those who have in fact sustained a typical fracture — do not receive therapy at all. Unawareness of the population, difficulties in accessing specialist care, as well as insufficient communications all contribute to the fact that a substantial percentage of patients discontinue drug therapy prematurely. Using information from a survey conducted in a club of osteoporotic patients, this paper discusses the achievements and substantiates the existence of patient associations, as well as emphasizes the need for establishing new patient clubs in Hungary.

SummaryIn this observational study a SMS reminder system was tested to improve patient adher- ence to osteoporosis drug therapy. 399 of 1323 osteoporosis fracture patients could be documented. 66 % of patients who received a SMS recommendation arranged an ap- pointment with their primary care physician. A large proportion of the physicians followed these recommendations. As more elderly patients declined to participate, the SMS tool seems to be useful in younger seniors (< 70 years).
